Personal injury attorney

Understanding the role of a personal injury lawyer before you need one will be a tremendous benefit to you and your family. Personal injury law encompasses many more incidents than auto accidents or slip and fall cases. Personal injury lawyers will review the mechanism of your injury, analyze the amount of money you have lost in terms of current losses as well as potential future losses, in addition to determining the permanency of your injury. Furthermore, personal injury lawyers analyze the effect your accident had on your family in terms of their emotional well-being as well as their financial security.  Having a personal injury lawyer in mind before you need one will go a long way two easing the burden you feel after you are a victim of a severe accident.

The most important role of a personal injury lawyer is an advocate for the victim and the victim’s family. No one except a personal injury attorney has a duty to protect and advocate for the accident victim and the accident victim’s family. A personal injury lawyer, therefore, will do everything possible to ensure that the victim’s rights are protected and will develop a strategy designed to maximize the victim’s financial compensation.

A personal injury lawyer who understands the legal process of filing a claim for damages will collect and review all the evidence related to the victim’s accident. The evidence generated by an accident that causes injuries may consist of police reports, medical records, surveillance video, photographs, witness statements, accident reconstruction, as well as employment history. Once all of the evidence is compiled, the personal injury attorney will file a claim against every party who bears some responsibility for the victim’s losses. The knowledgeable personal injury attorney could negotiate with the insurance companies and file a lawsuit if the insurance companies do not pay the victim just compensation for his or her losses.

The laws of each state are unique. Some states have a two-year statute of limitations for negligence actions, while others use a three-year statute of limitations negligence actions. Therefore, we must consult a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your accident to ensure that all of your invaluable rights are protected.
